Sheriff Calls Emergency Neighborhood Meeting

This is reposted from an email I received today. Please try to attend.

Sheriff Rutherford has called for an emergency meeting this Monday evening, July 13th, at Ortega United Methodist Church on Roosevelt, 7 p.m. This will be a joint meeting of zones 4, 5 and 6. This area includes Ortega Farms both north and south of Timuquana, Ortega, Ortega Forrest, Avondale and Riverside.

Please let all of your neighbors know about this meeting and encourage them to attend. Come early! I have a feeling this will be standing room only. Everyone is so upset about all of the recent crime in our area and I am thankful that the Police are willing to speak to us on this emergency basis.

I heard just yesterday afternoon that we had another home robbery at the corner of Salonica and Ortega Farms on Wednesday afternoon. The robber took off with guns, jewelry and electronics. Also, a couple was walking past the condos at Ortega Farms and Timuquana three nights ago and they were also robbed by someone passing by in a car. Ortega Forrest has also had several incidents this week.

Please feel free to forward this e-mail to neighbors that may not be included on my address book for e-mails concerning crime in our neighborhoods. I will be happy to include them for future mailings. Just respond to this e-mail and I will include your address in my book.

Come to the meeting and come early...ready to ask questions and hear what the Sheriff has to tell us about what is happening in our neighborhoods.
